I'm jumping into this halfway through but won't having this in the fstab cause the 
NAS to be mounted at boot rather than automounted on demand?
I have seen lots of race conditions on NFS and the network in various Linuxes of the 
past few years. Has needed lots of tweaks to systemd startup to make sure the 
network was there before the FS tried to mount.
Proper automount should be far more resilient.

Cheers,

Pete
